It's a year after you uploaded this video now. I have a simular situation. I have an Asrock Steel Legend B450M with the newest BIOS. First after my build 6 months ago I installed 2x8 GB sticks from Corsair 3000 Mhz and everything worked fine. I have also overclocked it to 3333 Mhz and tuned the settings and everything worked also fine. I have now upgraded with the same Corsair adding 2x extra 2x8 GB 3000 MHZ. First I have load BIOS default and then put XMP which worked perfectly fine. Then I overclocked it to 3333 and it also worked fine for me. Then I tried to tune the timings and I could not reach the same as with original. I was experimenting and have managed to set so much as possible timing which worked stable. I could not set every timing setting as the original but 80%. Everything is working fine and fast. Read and write spead have increased 10%. Asrock B450M Steel Legend is also LOW-to-MIDRANGE motherboard. So, this is my experience. Type Corsair RAM is: Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 ... I'm wondering how is the situation now? Cheers. (Sorry for my bad English :)
everything is the same for Ryzen 2000 CPU's BIOS updates didn't really change anything. The memory controller on Ryzen 3000 CPU's really improved memory support, even on older motherboards.
Refer to your MOBO MANUAL!! I recently purchased the B550 gaming plus and after reading the manual I’ve learned I’m able to clock higher speeds using 2 sticks of ram rather than 4 sticks of ram! 1DPC 1R max speed 4400mhz 1DPC 2R max speed 3866mhz 2DPC 1R max speed 4000mhz 2DPC 2R max speed 3600mhz
I’m literally having the same issue I’ve bought 2 identical, 8gb DDR4 3200mhz Corsair RAM sticks, to go from 16GB to 32GB. And my b450 plus motherboard, just doesn’t want to know. It tells me that there is hardware failure or whatever when I do a memory check. Thing is.. I’ve sent it back and replaced the RAM already... so it’s not the sticks. And I’m banging my head against the wall not being able to find anyone online who understands what the feck I’m trying to describe “Ooooh did you click it in, ooooh well you must’ve damaged it” Like NO, fuck... I’m more than capable of clicking in bloody ram, Jesus Christ... So yeah, it’s lovely to see it’s not me, and it’s actually a known issue Thanks for the vid bud
Bro I have the exact same problem but when I , download/ play games it crashes and it says it’s a memory thing, with the 4x8 sticks but when I go back 2x8 sticks it works fine
@@kingjes8169 yeah I ended up returning the 2 new ones I bought, selling my original 2 and getting 2 new sticks of 16. I got some advice on it and unless you buy the ram from the same pack. Then even if they’re the exact same model/type. Like absolutely identical, they can not be compatible So yeah bud, I’d get a refund while you can if I was you
@@HardwareForGamers Yeah and first i thought that your vids are stolen and uploaded by someone else, then i saw your 100sub celebration video, you deserve at least 10K not only 100,i hope things will get better on your channel.I built a pc and got a question for you about xmp can i ask?
@@HardwareForGamers I know i might sound like a noob but whatever. i built my new pc: i got an 8700k on a z390 board (this one is pretty high end board) and i bought 32gb ram 4x8gb (corsair vengeance pro) 3200mhz but its four sticks idk why i did that maybe for aesthetics i dunno if whether was a good idea or not. The question is can i enable xmp on my ram safely to 3200mhz or not because i heard that 4 sticks of ram might stress the cpu memory controller and eventually burn out the cpu memory controller especially with higher oc,i know you can do this with 2 sticks only with no problems but what about 4? Right now im using the stock settings.My second question is does enabling xmp or any other oc on memory could void my warranty on cpu or not, some people claimed that they lost the cpu warranty and been told that their memory was running at higher speed than was designed for. Intel says (i7 8700k max 2666mhz) anything above voids warrany? cuz i dont want to lose a 500 euro cpu. Could you please explain this things for me , in details if you got the time.
@@paulferenc Okay so this might be a bit of a long response, but by enabling the XMP profile of your memory will likely add some additional heat to the integrated memory controller and CPU (I would think 1-2 C). The only time I've ever really heard of a memory controller failing is when overvolting / overheating the CPU and that will degrade both the CPU and integrated memory controller over time. so as long as you have adequate cooling I really don't see much of an issue with overclocking a CPU or memory. And about the warranty watch this : ua-cam.com/video/GMnoIRPHBms/v-deo.html
For anyone else getting this video recommended years later: Motherboards with 4 ram slots and two channels will have different arrangements about how those four slots get split into the two channels - do a deep dive into motherboard topology. The next thing is memory controllers in CPUs change over generations - this was on a ryzen 2600. Finally, 4 sticks will be harder to get the timings and voltages adjusted than two sticks - some nuance is that ram is tested with the sticks in the same pack, buying each stick individually is not guaranteed to work together even if they are the same brand, the same speed, the same timings, and the same memory chips. You're going to get the best compatibility running mismatched ram slow with loose timings. If you don't feel like adjusting the timings or speeds to match, just buy a new set and sell your current set - factor in how much your time is worth for learning this skill when weighing costs.
Thanks for telling me I found this video when I was think of buying an extra 2x8 GB ram for my pc but I already have 16 GB so I’ll stick with 16 GB for now, thanks man!
you can swap your current 2 sticks of total 16gb ram for 2 stick 32gb total, i regrettably bought 4x16gb in total 64gb way too much ram even for someone that games with ram heavy games, and i only just found out about how excess ram and 4 sticks is slowing down my computer
Even high-end b450 boards have the same issue, wherewith 2 stick of ram it can oc up to 4200mhz but with 4*16 it can max of till 3466mhz. It would be best to check the QVL while purchasing ram
Hi. I ve read at multiple forums that adding 4 sticks can cause stress and load to memory controller of motherboard.is it true? And could it affect my board's long term functionality?
Hello thank you for your video. I'm running 2 pairs lpx 3000 on 3800xt x370 msi gaming plus. Haven't tried to overclock yet, but prime 95 all day. On 1st gen ryzen I couldn't get stable above 2666 with one pair. If this helps anyone else.. 👍
Yes makes perfect sense now, I have 64gb of 3600mhz and a tomahawk b450 max and the normal speeds of 3600 is too high so I’m going to try down clocking them today. The ram issue kept failing my flight installation until I used only 1 stick of ram. Thanks
Same isue. B450 Aorus PRO, Ryzen 5 2600x and 2x8 G.Skill Falre X running at 3200MHz -> no issues I added after 2 years 2x8 more of the same RAM sticks and I have only issues, like you described, PC shuts down when going into sleeping mode and won't boot (fans start and cycle but PC doesn't boot) and sometimes it boots with the RAM at 2133 MHz instead of 3200 MHz
Take out your motherboard cmos battery. Ik it’s been 2 years but that’s likely your issue. My pc would do that same thing but I found a guide saying to remove the cmos battery with a toothpick and wait 30 seconds and reboot. You’ll have to reselect your ram speed in BIOS. My 3200 reset to 2133 and during my restart the pc crashed thus causing the same issue you had.
Good to download CPU-Z and check the timings that the XMP settings actually launch into. Have found with many boards, even though running at the xmp profile speed in MHz the Xmp timing profile, if individual timings are set at "auto" good chance they are not running per the XMP profile. Even possible to increase latency even though you have increased MHz if timings are too loose. Something to keep an eye out for. Need on many occasions to adjust settings like CAS manually in bios to ensure you are getting benefit of higher MHz.
I run 64 GB (4x16) of G.Skill Flare X DDR4 DRAM in my Ryzen 9 5900X gaming/video-editing PC build and set the DOCP to 3200 MT/s (mega-transers per second) on an ASUS Prime X570 Pro ATX motherboard. Everything runs fine. I run 64 GB (4x16) of G.Skill RipJaws V in my Ryzen 7 5800X work PC build and set up the DOCP to 3200 MT/s on an ASUS Prime B550m WiFi micro-ATX motherboard. Everything runs fine in this PC as well.
Hey, Thank you for the amazing video. I still need help on this subject and if you could help me, I appreciate it. It's a fast question, I guess. So, I have an MSI B360M PRO-VDH board with 4 DIMMs, up to 2666mhz, it's a Dual channel motherboard. I'm currently using 2x4 DDR4 2400mhz from G.Skill (Aegis), similar to the video but different frequence and memory size. I want to add more 2x4 RAM sticks (same exact type from G.Skill), so I can have 16GB of RAM. That means I will fill all of the 4 slots. Will this work normally? If I place the second kit in A1/B1, will I successfully get the 16GB of RAM? I did some research and it appears that the motherboard (and every dual channel board does this apparently) will read A2/B2 as a 8GB RAM slot, and A1/B1 as another 8GB slot. Makes sense but I would like to hear from you!
I would also like to add an example so you can see as I did: ua-cam.com/video/IDKzCsC9Svs/v-deo.html That's around 10%-15% increase when 4x4 instead 8x2 in a dual channel mobo. How's that? I would like to learn a bit and you seem really professional in what you do. I will share your channel in my future videos. You deserve more recognition.
I did a similar video to the 2x8 and 4x4 but on Ryzen ua-cam.com/video/Nl2qUcxBz2E/v-deo.html and Steve from Hardware Unbox did as well for Intel and Ryzen ua-cam.com/video/dhMYmEu8gks/v-deo.html If you still have questions after watching just ask.
i have msi b250 pro vh wd two ram slots. i wana to upgrade my 2x8gb 16gb ram toh 32 gb.. should i buy two 16gb ram or shud i buy a motherboard qith 4 slots and an extra 2x8gb kit of corsair vengeance ddr4 2400hz . i have i7 7700, msi gtx 1060 6gb
I tried to double the amount of ram by adding an additional 32 gb of ram. After installing the sticks, my P.C will not boot. I will go on and off for a few times, then will just sit doing nothing. Is there something else I need to do to my bios to make this work.
I have a Tuf gaming b450 plus II mother board with 2x8gb ram im thinking about going 4x8gb but i dont understand what benefit does dual channel have over quad?
Thanks for video. i get %10 more fps when i use 2 sticks instead of 4 at same frequancy and timings. Also ram latency is about 44ns at 2sticks, 53ns at 4 sticks. There are many videos on youtube shows 4 sticks are getting much more fps because of rank difference. Do you have any idea what is wrong?
@@HardwareForGamers I am using 8700k, msi z370 gaming m5. Just bought CMW16GX4M2D3600C16 4x8 memory modules. 4 sticks didnt work at 3600mhz so i set frequency to 3333. Then i tested 2sticks vs 4 sticks at 3333mhz to see performance difference. I just discovered daisy chain topology. Maybe thats why it sucks?
@@Glaxycsgo I would also think that the motherboard is playing with the secondary timings of the RAM as well to even get 3333 to work, and that's why you're seeing such a performance loss. This is why you always need to check the memory compatibility list of the motherboard before buying 4 sticks of RAM.
unfortunately i had this issue after i have had this mobo for years now..#FirstPCbuildever that being said i still loved the vid and ty for the information.
So was it not working at 3000mhz on the first boot? Would it say so in CPU-Z or just lie to you? Whenever I boot computer from fully off, it clicks on and off along with the fans, is this the same thing or is that normal?
That clicking on and off is the motherboard rechecking the memory, now if the motherboard has to check it more than three times the motherboard will reset to its default settings. If CPUz is showing you the memory running at 1500 MHz (double data rate) then the memories running at 3000 MHz.
I’m having this same problem, but with a high end motherboard. (Msi X570 gaming edge WiFi with gskill Ripjaws v 3600mhz 4x8) and it crashes at any frequency above 1866mhz unless I take two sticks out. It helps if I up the dram voltage but it still crashes after a workload.
It´s not the board I guess. I´ve got the same issue with my x570 tomahawk. Running 2X16 gb ram 3600 Mhz runs perfect. But when I ad 2 more sticks to get a total of 64Gb ram it won´t run above 2600 Mhz
@@HardwareForGamers its compatible but only when 2 sticks are used. So I bought a 3200 kit from gskill with 4 ram slots and a timing of 16 16 16 . Amd needs even timings or 4 sticks don't work with xmp enabled.
Yeah, this is a tricky issue. I lowered the timings, the frequency, pushed more voltage, sometimes it takes days for me to get a BSOD error. It's pretty random. So, yeah, look into your motherboards. it was stable at 2666 with super low timings and it was stable at 3200 with only two sticks. But I couldn't get it to work without lowering the frequency from 3200 to 2800MHz and tweaking a lot the timings.
Late comment but made it’s cause it’s newer ram? But I bought 2 more 8x2 to have 32 to my existing one same brand and everything had no problem clocking it to 3200mhz or anything
So I am planning on buying a 3900x with 4 sticks of RAM. But should I get 2 instead? Running it on an x570 tiachi motherboard. I am seeing things about Ryzen 3 CPUs being "dual channel" and having 4 sticks is not the same as 2 sticks with same total RAM. HALP!
All AM4 Ryzen CPU's and MB's are dual Channel. meaning it can run 4 sticks of ram in dual-channel. Which is increasing the amount of memory capacity not the actual throughput. The memory controller in the Ryzen 3000's are pretty good, so pairing them with a X570 MB you should be fine as long as the speed of the memory isn't over 3600mhz.
So uh, question. I'm building a PC for content creation, and I know I need RAM for that. Will the 4 stick kit (Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 4x16GB kit DDR4-3600) work with the MSI Prestige X570 Creation EATX AM4 motherboard currently heading to me from China? Or should I go with a two stick kit of 32gb? Thanks, and Adepto Bonum.
@@HardwareForGamers CPU would be an AMD Ryzen 9 5900x. Also, how do I check the memory compatibility? Sorry if I sound stupid, but ya boy has been a console Peasant all my life.
@@claytoniusdoesthings9598 it is pretty stupid but you need to find the model number here www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/PRESTIGE-X570-CREATION#support-mem-21 (then click 5xxx on the top) and see if it has 3 check marks (for 4 sticks of RAM) in the last column to know if it has confirmed compatibility.

Hi, i just found this video after having a similar issue on my Asrock B450 fatality K4 Mobo. I have 2 * Corsair LPX CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 3200mhz 8gb sticks. all ran fine at 3200 XMP 2.0 in the BIOS. I added 2 more sticks of a different brand (on sale) same clock speeds etc, but found lots of BSOD issues etc. So i returned the sticks and purchased a set identical to the set i already have in the ,machine. The BIOS will not accept higher than about 2800mhz with the 4 sticks in. reading online this seems a common issue. The main thing i cant nail down is, i run a Ryzen 5 2600X cpu, but i cant tell if this is a memory control issue with the 2xxx series cpu, or if its a MOBO BIOS issue. I have seen that the 3xxx series ryzen CPU's are better with memory compatibility, but the question is, do i keep these sticks and run them at the 2800 for now, OR upgrade to a 3600/x CPU and see if thats happy, or upgrade the motherboard to a higher spec AM4 socket and stick with the 2600x. i.e. do you think this is more of a cpu incompatibility rather than the mobo itself?? thanks :)
I don't think changing the motherboard is a good idea. you'd have to go to a pretty high-end motherboard to make a difference. Going with a Ryzen 3000 CPU (non G) would be your best bet, I'd recommend trying to wait until black Friday.
Hello.. i would like to ask about my build..i was using a Trident Z neo kit with 3600mhz and it was working fine under 3400mhz and i decided to buy a new kit Trident z RGB with same timing and mhz as my old neo was.. but eventually after putting the new kit it wont boot and change to lower frequency like only 2400 mhz even im using the D.OC.P it wont work.. any possible way to reach my frequency to 3400mhz? By the way im using ryzen 5 3400g with b450m-plus II tuf board...TIA
i have this issue broo you the best i have b550 w 2 rams of 8gb 4000oc and i add 2 more same rams and doesnt go up to 2133 i will move to x570 to see if they can go farther!! thanks
Well, if frequency difference is not that big, it may still be better to have 4 modules, because of dual rank thing. 4 single ranks sticks is like having 2 dual rank RAM sticks. And as I have heard, having more than 2 dual ranks does not give that much performance, and dual rank is harder to overclock, but it still gives a little more performance. Thanks for the video!
how about the pressure it puts on motherboard? i mean will using 4 slots all lead to any issue on motherboard or generally at all along with affecting speed?
@@skeletonphilWell. If you do not use XMP, it should be fine. If you are using XMP or overclocking, then you would probably achieve less speed than with 2 modules.
@@vladislavkaras491 As long as i know xmp should be turned on for better and no-issued performance especially when dealing with heavy games or video editing process. So then in this case, would u recommend going for 2 sticks of ram? Im sorry. I don't really know much about pc and the internal stuffs in it. Im finally buying my long awaited, ever dreamed pc. So just wanna make sure everythings perfect chosen for it. The pc is coming with 32 of ram(4×8) Msi Z790 DDR4, Cpu Intel i5 14600kf, Vram rtx 3070 And 2tb ssd, 4 tb hdd. I guess these are what matter when discussing ram choice
@@skeletonphilIf you are not going to overclock, only enable XMP, then it should be fine, but to be double sure, you can search on Internet about your motherboard and 4 sticks of RAM, and about your CPU and 4 sticks of RAM.
Hi, I have a B450 pro4 motherboard and I have 2x4 GB ram at the moment, I want to upgrade it to 16gb ram. If I buy another pair of 2x4 GB ram I will get 4x4 GB ram. Will it work fine? And I don't know if b450 pro4 supports quad-channel? (sorry for bad English, I'm 15 from the Netherlands)
It will work at stock 2133mhz ram speed (you will get 16 gigs of ram). This video is trying to explain that using 4 sticks of ram with XMP enabled (high memory speed) might not work. What happens is that when you enable XMP infinity fabric cannot always control 4 sticks of ram @ high frequencies that your ram supports, due to hardware limitations. I dont recall this being a problem with the mobo, because the memory controller is inside de CPU die.
Can you plz check something? I see you have the F4-3000C16D-16GISB model. I also have 32 (4x8) gb F4-3000C16S-8Gisb on my gigabyte ab350 gaming 3 with no issues. Can you check and see if cpuz identifies your ram as single rank or dual rank? Some people reported that ram kits working on dual channel are in fact identified as dual rank when all 4 dimms are covered on motherboard. Thx for the video.
Looks like that this is a common problem on the first gen Zen based processors and cheap motherboards with daisy chained 4 slot of RAM. It's less of a problem for Zen 2 and newer chips. I have a budget system with a brand new Athlon 3000G + ASRock B450M Pro-4 F R2.0 bundled together and 2 stick of SK Hynix DDR4 2400T, the cheapest DDR4 memory I could find. I can overclock the APU to its limit easily (4 GHz on CPU @ 1.3v and 1.7 GHz on GPU @ auto) but I'm struggling to get that RAM to anything over 2800 MT/s even with 1.4V. I thought, well, those are cheap 2400 MT/s modules, what should I expect? Then I realized I actually put those RAM in the wrong slots (A1 + B1). Moving them to the correct slots (A2 + B2) allows me to bump the speed to a stable 3200 MT/s with the same timings as the stock speed (DDR4-2400T) at 1.35V. So for this system, 2800 MT/s is the best speed slot A1 and B1 can reach. I'm thinking of adding 2 stick of 8GB memory with the same JEDEC specs to it just to see if it can run those 4 stick of RAM at that speed AND with a mixed module size.

Im glad i seen it too. So effectively on a b550 using four sticks of 8gb ram my CPU wont be able to boost as high as it normally would on two 8gb sticks.

Reset your cmos battery, little silver cookie on motherboard with toothpick and wait 30 seconds then restart and go into BIOS and set them to the speed you want again and report back soldier
You can get more speed but your memory has to be single rank. Then 4 sticks will be more improved over 2. And usualy single rank memory is 8GB and under. 16GB sticks and above are usually dual rank. And there will be no speed up.
My corsair rgb pro 3600mhz 4x8gb had the same issue yesterday when i installed them from a 3200mhz t force 16gb kit ... Had to put them on 3000mhz to be stable using 4stick .... On my asrock b450 pro4 i max out at 3200mhz
my motherboard says it can run 32 GB XMP at 3200 MHz but it runs fine with 2 slots but not with 4 slots being used it sometimes freezes or weird loud noise then crashed
I’m actively going through this issue and after a lot of bios boots I’m pretty sure I have a definitive answer Mobo: Asus m5a97 Cpu: AMD FX 6350 BE Ram: 2 2x4gb gskill ripjaws x 1600 9 9 9 24 (16gb total) My board has OC Tune option that I took advantage of to get data. when I run one set of dimms I can set the D.O.C.P. (Amd’s xmp) to the advertised profile but freeze shortly after booting OS when running all 4. I noticed the boards auto tune wants to set the freq down with out changing timings but stock setting keeps the freq and loosens the timings. It seems that when running 4 dimms dual channel with the DOCP profile, you will have to manually raise the dram voltage slightly to make it stable or make a choice between advertised timings or freq. I think just about all g.skill ram has a heat sink so raising the voltage slightly to achieve stable advertised settings shouldn’t be detrimental, especially if you know your cooling is solid. I have not made any tests with a specific 4dimm dual channel kit and honestly I can’t find one to buy lol
cpu is ryzen 5 2600&my motherboard is asrock b450 steel legend and i already have g skill aegis 2x8gb ram so can i put 2 more 8gb aegis ram in it?i'm not very understand with ram...
Yes you can have 4x8gb. The question is what is the rated speed of your ram. I would think the B450 steel legend can run 4 dimms at 2800 or faster. Do you know what your current ram kit is rated at?
Hi! Same situation with my Ryzen 5 1600 & MSI B350 Mate. I have 4*8 G.Skill Flare 3200 Mhz 14 timings, and it's working perfectly 2*8 with profile 2 (3200) but together only 2933Mhz. Still hope for new Bios but with time less and less. Don't want come back to 2*8 but want more speed. :( Only one way - change processor and motherboard?
Right now 32gb 2x16GB 3600mhz seems to be the sweet spot for my 5900X machine, 3733mhz is the best speed for Ryzen chips it’s considered Ryzen tuned ram I plan on getting a 64gb kit of 3733mhz ram eventually
I have 4x8 3000MHz on an ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING (w/ i7 6700K): Default (no XMP) 2133: works XMP2 3000: NO POST XMP2 2933: slightly unstable (memory errors) XMP2 2800: works
i have msi b250 pro vh wd two ram slots. i wana to upgrade my 2x8gb 16gb ram toh 32 gb.. should i buy two 16gb ram or shud i buy a motherboard qith 4 slots and an extra 2x8gb kit of corsair vengeance ddr4 2400hz . i have i7 7700, msi gtx 1060 6gb
I got one with 4 sticks of ram 3000 that runs stable in 2800mhz on that mb. It's a pretty good motherboard for its price. But for such things as 4 sticks an x model a bit more expensive would fit nice I believe.
That 3600 kit will be faster then that 3200 kit because of the timings, but check the motherboards compatible memory list. It should be on the the website.
@@igoresqueyes, but it's not that simple. There are MB that are daisy chained that can support 4 dimms at "faster" speeds, but yes t-topolgy can typically handle higher speeds.
HardwareForGamers daisy chain is better equipped for 2 stick setups, while t-topology might be slightly worse in 2 stick setup, but instead allow the same clocks on both 2 and 4 dimm setups
@@igoresque This on top of using non-B-Die RAM. If you want to run 3000MHz or higher with the least problems (on Ryzen), just spend $20 more or whatever the dif is, and get sticks with B-Die...period! ;) You'll save yourself a shitload of headaches.

Yes but what about me losing sleep over my issue? I had stable 2x8gb of 3866, and added 2x8gb of 3600. Now I am only able to overclock to 2400MHZ. This is on a Z390 Aorus Pro.
Hi nice video but i have one question: i've 4 sticks of ram with 8gb on each stick i bought a gigabyte x570 ud and booted into windows everything worked but the ram clocked with 2133mhz i've heatd that this is the normal ddr4 speed. So i went into the bios and enabled xmp (these 4 sticks are rated at 3000mhz and are all exactly the same from corsair). But now the computer doesnt boot into windows anymore. Then i looked back in bios and only 2 of 4 had xmp enabled. I set everything back and my pc worked again. Do u know how i can run all 4 sticks at 3000mhz. Hope u could Unterstand me im from germany
First off your English is way better than my Deutsch. I've never experienced anything quite like that. Whenever I've set an XMP it's always been to all dimms. Which Dimms is XMP being enabled on? Like A2B2 or A1A2?? I will search around and see what I can find out.
2024 and my ASROCK B365 phantom gamer 4 will not run 2666mhz GSKILL AEGIS ram at all. It ran this ram for 5 years total 64 gigs (4) 16gig ram sticks. As of July 2024 and a windows update my system will not run any memory module over 8gig of ram and 2 sticks in dual channel. System was freezing in windows all the time. I thought it was my 9th gen i9 9900k so I repasted it and then changed the AIO from a 2 fan to 3 fan larger cooler. Still would freeze in window. Finally I had to buy new Corsair 3200mhz Ram 8 gigs sticks. System runs stable for now and no freezing.
My gigabyte x470 cant handle 2x8 3600mhz ddr4 ram stable, i think its the memory controler on the ryzen 2700x cpu hope with a 5800 ryzen it will be better🙄
same issue here...with my B450M mortar Mobo with 3200 mhz 32gb (8gbx4) RAM.. thanks for pointing this out... im getting MSI X570 Unify next week.. hope i can use all of my RAMs sticks, instead of just 2.... cheers bro!!
how should I place my RAMs? I have 2x16 and 2x8 3200mhzl. Thank you for those who could answer. A: DIMM A2 = 16gb DIMM B2 = 16gb DIMM A1 = 8gb DIMM B1 = 8gb Or B: DIMM A2 = 16gb DIMM B2 = 8gb DIMM A1 = 16gb DIMM B1 = 8gb
I had this issue with my Ryzen 7 1700x with Gkill trident 3600mhz with MSI B450 tomahawk. Issue i discovered as the same my board only supported 3466hz
Just ordered 2 extra 8gb of the same ram and speed for my B450M/ac. So I’ll have 4 sticks running at 2666. I’ll comment tomorrow if it doesn’t work hahahaha
At 0:55 you can clearly see where your problem began. You indicate that you are using TWO kits. The problem with memory is that it is extremely figidy. Using two kits, even if its the same exact mfg., the same exact model and part number will ALWAYS cause these results. The only real way to use two kits as a 4 dim setup, and get positive results, is by buying them at the same exact time, from the same vendor, and ENSURE that they are both the same version of that particular module part number. Corsair, for example, always places their module version on each stick. Buying two separate kits from Corsair, each showing for example (Ver. 5.31) will ensure you are getting the same frequencies and times and the same XMP file on all 4 sticks. Any change between two sticks, ie version, times, frequencies, will trigger the error that causes the Bios to continuously boot up until it resets all settings to default for a proper boot. Even tho the sticks you are using seem to say 2019 Mar, in march there could have been three revision’s to that particular module number. Also, even tho the CL times and frequencies might have been the same, any changes to the xmp file will trigger an error and thus prevent you from using the max performance of the sticks. Things to Take Notice On: *Another problem with going from a 2 stick bios config to a 4 stick bios config is that the Bios will SOMETIMES need to revert back to default in order for it to properly set 4 sticks into a dual channel config. Its not always the case, however, it is heavily dependent on the mobo and the bios being used. * The ultimate performance determinator will be the CPU. Memory is exclusively controlled and managed by the CPU. The type of CPU (AMD v/s Intel) will HEAVILY determine the performance of ANY memory configuration. Dual Channel, Quad Channel, Single Channel, 2 dims, 4 dims, 8 Dims, ALL will be determined, controlled, and adjusted by the CPU. The bios simply negotiates terms under which the CPU either accepts, re-negoitates, or totally declines to operate in. In your case, it was “re-negotiated” at a lower frequency.
Did you watch the entire video? because the concept of the video is not to cheap out on your motherboard. So that you won't have these issues. Watch this it's a much more extensive breakdown of multiple motherboards ua-cam.com/video/f0jPtEtmmT4/v-deo.html
It's a year after you uploaded this video now. I have a simular situation. I have an Asrock Steel Legend B450M with the newest BIOS. First after my build 6 months ago I installed 2x8 GB sticks from Corsair 3000 Mhz and everything worked fine. I have also overclocked it to 3333 Mhz and tuned the settings and everything worked also fine. I have now upgraded with the same Corsair adding 2x extra 2x8 GB 3000 MHZ. First I have load BIOS default and then put XMP which worked perfectly fine. Then I overclocked it to 3333 and it also worked fine for me. Then I tried to tune the timings and I could not reach the same as with original. I was experimenting and have managed to set so much as possible timing which worked stable. I could not set every timing setting as the original but 80%. Everything is working fine and fast. Read and write spead have increased 10%. Asrock B450M Steel Legend is also LOW-to-MIDRANGE motherboard. So, this is my experience. Type Corsair RAM is: Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 ... I'm wondering how is the situation now? Cheers. (Sorry for my bad English :)
everything is the same for Ryzen 2000 CPU's BIOS updates didn't really change anything. The memory controller on Ryzen 3000 CPU's really improved memory support, even on older motherboards.
I knew I'd run into problems with 4 sticks of RAM but bought them anyway. Glad I could find a description on what the issue is. Thanks!
Ong bro i i just want it for the aesthetic part 😂😂😂😂

Refer to your MOBO MANUAL!!
I recently purchased the B550 gaming plus and after reading the manual I’ve learned I’m able to clock higher speeds using 2 sticks of ram rather than 4 sticks of ram!
1DPC 1R max speed 4400mhz
1DPC 2R max speed 3866mhz
2DPC 1R max speed 4000mhz
2DPC 2R max speed 3600mhz
I found this video in time, thank you very much!
I’m literally having the same issue
I’ve bought 2 identical, 8gb DDR4 3200mhz Corsair RAM sticks, to go from 16GB to 32GB.
And my b450 plus motherboard, just doesn’t want to know.
It tells me that there is hardware failure or whatever when I do a memory check.
Thing is.. I’ve sent it back and replaced the RAM already... so it’s not the sticks.
And I’m banging my head against the wall not being able to find anyone online who understands what the feck I’m trying to describe
“Ooooh did you click it in, ooooh well you must’ve damaged it”
Like NO, fuck... I’m more than capable of clicking in bloody ram, Jesus Christ...
So yeah, it’s lovely to see it’s not me, and it’s actually a known issue
Thanks for the vid bud
Bro I have the exact same problem but when I , download/ play games it crashes and it says it’s a memory thing, with the 4x8 sticks but when I go back 2x8 sticks it works fine
@@kingjes8169 yeah I ended up returning the 2 new ones I bought, selling my original 2 and getting 2 new sticks of 16.
I got some advice on it and unless you buy the ram from the same pack. Then even if they’re the exact same model/type. Like absolutely identical, they can not be compatible
So yeah bud, I’d get a refund while you can if I was you

@@paulferencpeople are watching my videos they just don't sub. what's your question?
@@HardwareForGamers I know i might sound like a noob but whatever. i built my new pc: i got an 8700k on a z390 board (this one is pretty high end board) and i bought 32gb ram 4x8gb (corsair vengeance pro) 3200mhz but its four sticks idk why i did that maybe for aesthetics i dunno if whether was a good idea or not. The question is can i enable xmp on my ram safely to 3200mhz or not because i heard that 4 sticks of ram might stress the cpu memory controller and eventually burn out the cpu memory controller especially with higher oc,i know you can do this with 2 sticks only with no problems but what about 4? Right now im using the stock settings.My second question is does enabling xmp or any other oc on memory could void my warranty on cpu or not, some people claimed that they lost the cpu warranty and been told that their memory was running at higher speed than was designed for. Intel says (i7 8700k max 2666mhz) anything above voids warrany? cuz i dont want to lose a 500 euro cpu. Could you please explain this things for me , in details if you got the time.
@@paulferenc Okay so this might be a bit of a long response, but by enabling the XMP profile of your memory will likely add some additional heat to the integrated memory controller and CPU (I would think 1-2 C). The only time I've ever really heard of a memory controller failing is when overvolting / overheating the CPU and that will degrade both the CPU and integrated memory controller over time. so as long as you have adequate cooling I really don't see much of an issue with overclocking a CPU or memory.
And about the warranty watch this : ua-cam.com/video/GMnoIRPHBms/v-deo.html
For anyone else getting this video recommended years later: Motherboards with 4 ram slots and two channels will have different arrangements about how those four slots get split into the two channels - do a deep dive into motherboard topology. The next thing is memory controllers in CPUs change over generations - this was on a ryzen 2600. Finally, 4 sticks will be harder to get the timings and voltages adjusted than two sticks - some nuance is that ram is tested with the sticks in the same pack, buying each stick individually is not guaranteed to work together even if they are the same brand, the same speed, the same timings, and the same memory chips.
You're going to get the best compatibility running mismatched ram slow with loose timings. If you don't feel like adjusting the timings or speeds to match, just buy a new set and sell your current set - factor in how much your time is worth for learning this skill when weighing costs.
Thanks for telling me I found this video when I was think of buying an extra 2x8 GB ram for my pc but I already have 16 GB so I’ll stick with 16 GB for now, thanks man!
Glad it was helpful.
you can swap your current 2 sticks of total 16gb ram for 2 stick 32gb total, i regrettably bought 4x16gb in total 64gb way too much ram even for someone that games with ram heavy games, and i only just found out about how excess ram and 4 sticks is slowing down my computer
Yeah I also had a very similar issue, that's what I get for cheaping out on my board I suppose
Never cheap out on ur motherboard or power supply
Even high-end b450 boards have the same issue, wherewith 2 stick of ram it can oc up to 4200mhz but with 4*16 it can max of till 3466mhz. It would be best to check the QVL while purchasing ram

Yes makes perfect sense now, I have 64gb of 3600mhz and a tomahawk b450 max and the normal speeds of 3600 is too high so I’m going to try down clocking them today. The ram issue kept failing my flight installation until I used only 1 stick of ram. Thanks
Same isue. B450 Aorus PRO, Ryzen 5 2600x and 2x8 G.Skill Falre X running at 3200MHz -> no issues
I added after 2 years 2x8 more of the same RAM sticks and I have only issues, like you described, PC shuts down when going into sleeping mode and won't boot (fans start and cycle but PC doesn't boot) and sometimes it boots with the RAM at 2133 MHz instead of 3200 MHz
Take out your motherboard cmos battery. Ik it’s been 2 years but that’s likely your issue. My pc would do that same thing but I found a guide saying to remove the cmos battery with a toothpick and wait 30 seconds and reboot. You’ll have to reselect your ram speed in BIOS. My 3200 reset to 2133 and during my restart the pc crashed thus causing the same issue you had.
This is a limitation of the Ryzen Processor, each processor has a max mhz working speed for 2 and 4 slots of ram.
Good to download CPU-Z and check the timings that the XMP settings actually launch into. Have found with many boards, even though running at the xmp profile speed in MHz the Xmp timing profile, if individual timings are set at "auto" good chance they are not running per the XMP profile. Even possible to increase latency even though you have increased MHz if timings are too loose. Something to keep an eye out for. Need on many occasions to adjust settings like CAS manually in bios to ensure you are getting benefit of higher MHz.

Hey,
Thank you for the amazing video. I still need help on this subject and if you could help me, I appreciate it. It's a fast question, I guess.
So, I have an MSI B360M PRO-VDH board with 4 DIMMs, up to 2666mhz, it's a Dual channel motherboard.
I'm currently using 2x4 DDR4 2400mhz from G.Skill (Aegis), similar to the video but different frequence and memory size.
I want to add more 2x4 RAM sticks (same exact type from G.Skill), so I can have 16GB of RAM. That means I will fill all of the 4 slots.
Will this work normally? If I place the second kit in A1/B1, will I successfully get the 16GB of RAM? I did some research and it appears that the motherboard (and every dual channel board does this apparently) will read A2/B2 as a 8GB RAM slot, and A1/B1 as another 8GB slot. Makes sense but I would like to hear from you!
I would also like to add an example so you can see as I did: ua-cam.com/video/IDKzCsC9Svs/v-deo.html
That's around 10%-15% increase when 4x4 instead 8x2 in a dual channel mobo. How's that? I would like to learn a bit and you seem really professional in what you do. I will share your channel in my future videos. You deserve more recognition.

i get %10 more fps when i use 2 sticks instead of 4 at same frequancy and timings. Also ram latency is about 44ns at 2sticks, 53ns at 4 sticks.
There are many videos on youtube shows 4 sticks are getting much more fps because of rank difference. Do you have any idea what is wrong?
What cpu, motherboard and ram are you using?
@@HardwareForGamers I am using 8700k, msi z370 gaming m5. Just bought CMW16GX4M2D3600C16 4x8 memory modules. 4 sticks didnt work at 3600mhz so i set frequency to 3333. Then i tested 2sticks vs 4 sticks at 3333mhz to see performance difference.
I just discovered daisy chain topology. Maybe thats why it sucks?
@@Glaxycsgo I would also think that the motherboard is playing with the secondary timings of the RAM as well to even get 3333 to work, and that's why you're seeing such a performance loss.
This is why you always need to check the memory compatibility list of the motherboard before buying 4 sticks of RAM.
unfortunately i had this issue after i have had this mobo for years now..#FirstPCbuildever that being said i still loved the vid and ty for the information.
So was it not working at 3000mhz on the first boot? Would it say so in CPU-Z or just lie to you? Whenever I boot computer from fully off, it clicks on and off along with the fans, is this the same thing or is that normal?
That clicking on and off is the motherboard rechecking the memory, now if the motherboard has to check it more than three times the motherboard will reset to its default settings. If CPUz is showing you the memory running at 1500 MHz (double data rate) then the memories running at 3000 MHz.
I’m having this same problem, but with a high end motherboard. (Msi X570 gaming edge WiFi with gskill Ripjaws v 3600mhz 4x8) and it crashes at any frequency above 1866mhz unless I take two sticks out. It helps if I up the dram voltage but it still crashes after a workload.
Have you tried Ryzen DRAM calculator?
HardwareForGamers a bios update fixed it. The ram works properly now
That was pretty easy, GLHF
It´s not the board I guess. I´ve got the same issue with my x570 tomahawk.
Running 2X16 gb ram 3600 Mhz runs perfect.
But when I ad 2 more sticks to get a total of 64Gb ram it won´t run above 2600 Mhz
What CPU are you using?
@@HardwareForGamers 5800x but my ram is not on the compatavility list hyper x predator 3600 mhz 4 x 16 gb
That really sucks.
@@HardwareForGamers its compatible but only when 2 sticks are used. So I bought a 3200 kit from gskill with 4 ram slots and a timing of 16 16 16 . Amd needs even timings or 4 sticks don't work with xmp enabled.
Yeah, this is a tricky issue. I lowered the timings, the frequency, pushed more voltage, sometimes it takes days for me to get a BSOD error. It's pretty random. So, yeah, look into your motherboards. it was stable at 2666 with super low timings and it was stable at 3200 with only two sticks. But I couldn't get it to work without lowering the frequency from 3200 to 2800MHz and tweaking a lot the timings.
Great video, good to know this!
Late comment but made it’s cause it’s newer ram? But I bought 2 more 8x2 to have 32 to my existing one same brand and everything had no problem clocking it to 3200mhz or anything
So I am planning on buying a 3900x with 4 sticks of RAM. But should I get 2 instead? Running it on an x570 tiachi motherboard. I am seeing things about Ryzen 3 CPUs being "dual channel" and having 4 sticks is not the same as 2 sticks with same total RAM. HALP!
All AM4 Ryzen CPU's and MB's are dual Channel. meaning it can run 4 sticks of ram in dual-channel. Which is increasing the amount of memory capacity not the actual throughput.
The memory controller in the Ryzen 3000's are pretty good, so pairing them with a X570 MB you should be fine as long as the speed of the memory isn't over 3600mhz.
So uh, question. I'm building a PC for content creation, and I know I need RAM for that. Will the 4 stick kit (Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 4x16GB kit DDR4-3600) work with the MSI Prestige X570 Creation EATX AM4 motherboard currently heading to me from China? Or should I go with a two stick kit of 32gb? Thanks, and Adepto Bonum.
It depends on what CPU your using. If you can check the memory compatibility list for the motherboard.

Hi, i just found this video after having a similar issue on my Asrock B450 fatality K4 Mobo. I have 2 * Corsair LPX CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 3200mhz 8gb sticks. all ran fine at 3200 XMP 2.0 in the BIOS. I added 2 more sticks of a different brand (on sale) same clock speeds etc, but found lots of BSOD issues etc. So i returned the sticks and purchased a set identical to the set i already have in the ,machine. The BIOS will not accept higher than about 2800mhz with the 4 sticks in. reading online this seems a common issue.
The main thing i cant nail down is, i run a Ryzen 5 2600X cpu, but i cant tell if this is a memory control issue with the 2xxx series cpu, or if its a MOBO BIOS issue. I have seen that the 3xxx series ryzen CPU's are better with memory compatibility, but the question is, do i keep these sticks and run them at the 2800 for now, OR upgrade to a 3600/x CPU and see if thats happy, or upgrade the motherboard to a higher spec AM4 socket and stick with the 2600x.
i.e. do you think this is more of a cpu incompatibility rather than the mobo itself?? thanks :)
I don't think changing the motherboard is a good idea. you'd have to go to a pretty high-end motherboard to make a difference.
Going with a Ryzen 3000 CPU (non G) would be your best bet, I'd recommend trying to wait until black Friday.

i have this issue broo you the best i have b550 w 2 rams of 8gb 4000oc and i add 2 more same rams and doesnt go up to 2133 i will move to x570 to see if they can go farther!! thanks
Well, if frequency difference is not that big, it may still be better to have 4 modules, because of dual rank thing.
4 single ranks sticks is like having 2 dual rank RAM sticks.
And as I have heard, having more than 2 dual ranks does not give that much performance, and dual rank is harder to overclock, but it still gives a little more performance.
Thanks for the video!
how about the pressure it puts on motherboard? i mean will using 4 slots all lead to any issue on motherboard or generally at all along with affecting speed?
@@skeletonphilWell. If you do not use XMP, it should be fine.
If you are using XMP or overclocking, then you would probably achieve less speed than with 2 modules.
@@vladislavkaras491 As long as i know xmp should be turned on for better and no-issued performance especially when dealing with heavy games or video editing process.
So then in this case, would u recommend going for 2 sticks of ram?
Im sorry. I don't really know much about pc and the internal stuffs in it.

Hi,
I have a B450 pro4 motherboard and I have 2x4 GB ram at the moment, I want to upgrade it to 16gb ram.
If I buy another pair of 2x4 GB ram I will get 4x4 GB ram. Will it work fine?
And I don't know if b450 pro4 supports quad-channel?
(sorry for bad English, I'm 15 from the Netherlands)
You should check the memory compatible list for your motherboard.
It will work at stock 2133mhz ram speed (you will get 16 gigs of ram).
This video is trying to explain that using 4 sticks of ram with XMP enabled (high memory speed) might not work.
What happens is that when you enable XMP infinity fabric cannot always control 4 sticks of ram @ high frequencies that your ram supports, due to hardware limitations. I dont recall this being a problem with the mobo, because the memory controller is inside de CPU die.
Can you plz check something? I see you have the F4-3000C16D-16GISB model. I also have 32 (4x8) gb F4-3000C16S-8Gisb
on my gigabyte ab350 gaming 3 with no issues. Can you check and see if cpuz identifies your ram as single rank or dual rank? Some people reported that ram kits working on dual channel are in fact identified as dual rank when all 4 dimms are covered on motherboard. Thx for the video.
My CPUz shows that it single rank. What CPU do you have in your system?

Ok you getting those speeds make sense then.
Looks like that this is a common problem on the first gen Zen based processors and cheap motherboards with daisy chained 4 slot of RAM. It's less of a problem for Zen 2 and newer chips.
I have a budget system with a brand new Athlon 3000G + ASRock B450M Pro-4 F R2.0 bundled together and 2 stick of SK Hynix DDR4 2400T, the cheapest DDR4 memory I could find.
I can overclock the APU to its limit easily (4 GHz on CPU @ 1.3v and 1.7 GHz on GPU @ auto) but I'm struggling to get that RAM to anything over 2800 MT/s even with 1.4V. I thought, well, those are cheap 2400 MT/s modules, what should I expect? Then I realized I actually put those RAM in the wrong slots (A1 + B1). Moving them to the correct slots (A2 + B2) allows me to bump the speed to a stable 3200 MT/s with the same timings as the stock speed (DDR4-2400T) at 1.35V. So for this system, 2800 MT/s is the best speed slot A1 and B1 can reach. I'm thinking of adding 2 stick of 8GB memory with the same JEDEC specs to it just to see if it can run those 4 stick of RAM at that speed AND with a mixed module size.
I have a dual channel cpu but my motherboard is quad channel can I run 4 sticks of 8gb ram? Even though my cpu is dual channel?
A. what CPU do you have??

I ran in to the same issue, with the ASUS Prime B460 plus and my 3200 4x16 hyperx fury sticks of ram, it only worked at 2933 Mhz.
Im glad i seen it too. So effectively on a b550 using four sticks of 8gb ram my CPU wont be able to boost as high as it normally would on two 8gb sticks. I was considering buying two more sticks to future proof a little and fill the other slots. I think instead ill just buy two dummy corsair sticks to match my current config and fill the empty slots.

@@Mayor.Of.Eville. i figured it out
You can get more speed but your memory has to be single rank. Then 4 sticks will be more improved over 2. And usualy single rank memory is 8GB and under. 16GB sticks and above are usually dual rank. And there will be no speed up.

Mobo: Asus m5a97
Cpu: AMD FX 6350 BE
Ram: 2 2x4gb gskill ripjaws x 1600 9 9 9 24 (16gb total)
My board has OC Tune option that I took advantage of to get data. when I run one set of dimms I can set the D.O.C.P. (Amd’s xmp) to the advertised profile but freeze shortly after booting OS when running all 4. I noticed the boards auto tune wants to set the freq down with out changing timings but stock setting keeps the freq and loosens the timings. It seems that when running 4 dimms dual channel with the DOCP profile, you will have to manually raise the dram voltage slightly to make it stable or make a choice between advertised timings or freq. I think just about all g.skill ram has a heat sink so raising the voltage slightly to achieve stable advertised settings shouldn’t be detrimental, especially if you know your cooling is solid.
I have not made any tests with a specific 4dimm dual channel kit and honestly I can’t find one to buy lol

At 0:55 you can clearly see where your problem began. You indicate that you are using TWO kits. The problem with memory is that it is extremely figidy. Using two kits, even if its the same exact mfg., the same exact model and part number will ALWAYS cause these results. The only real way to use two kits as a 4 dim setup, and get positive results, is by buying them at the same exact time, from the same vendor, and ENSURE that they are both the same version of that particular module part number. Corsair, for example, always places their module version on each stick. Buying two separate kits from Corsair, each showing for example (Ver. 5.31) will ensure you are getting the same frequencies and times and the same XMP file on all 4 sticks. Any change between two sticks, ie version, times, frequencies, will trigger the error that causes the Bios to continuously boot up until it resets all settings to default for a proper boot. Even tho the sticks you are using seem to say 2019 Mar, in march there could have been three revision’s to that particular module number. Also, even tho the CL times and frequencies might have been the same, any changes to the xmp file will trigger an error and thus prevent you from using the max performance of the sticks.
Things to Take Notice On:
*Another problem with going from a 2 stick bios config to a 4 stick bios config is that the Bios will SOMETIMES need to revert back to default in order for it to properly set 4 sticks into a dual channel config. Its not always the case, however, it is heavily dependent on the mobo and the bios being used.
* The ultimate performance determinator will be the CPU. Memory is exclusively controlled and managed by the CPU. The type of CPU (AMD v/s Intel) will HEAVILY determine the performance of ANY memory configuration. Dual Channel, Quad Channel, Single Channel, 2 dims, 4 dims, 8 Dims, ALL will be determined, controlled, and adjusted by the CPU. The bios simply negotiates terms under which the CPU either accepts, re-negoitates, or totally declines to operate in. In your case, it was “re-negotiated” at a lower frequency.
Disregarded.
Dude read AMD's website they specifically said AMD CPU's does not like 3000MHz RAM.
Did you watch the entire video? because the concept of the video is not to cheap out on your motherboard. So that you won't have these issues. Watch this it's a much more extensive breakdown of multiple motherboards
